Tomato ND USB Mod with kernel 2.6 (Tomato-RT)

ext2 8kb cluster size. With dd-wrt and slimsamba my write was above 10MB/s

Just dont forget before flash from DD-WRT firmware to rename the tomato firmware to XXXtomatoFirmware.trx to XXXtomatoFirmware.bin and select to Reset to Factory Defaults after Flash....(importand value to Clear Nvram)...:wink:

Rasky,

DO NOT raise the tx power above 20 or so. see if you still have packet loss (after giving your router a few minutes of rest after the change).

you can also try different channels for fun..... 1, 6, 11

report back!

I have a 4GB flash drive (EXT3) with full optware installed from instructions followed at DD-WRT website based on my previous router running dd-wrt (from a well known user there frater) which I installed using a script that frater made.

Can I pop this flash drive into the ASUS now with Tomato on it, or should I format and start from scratch. I wasn't sure how compatible the optware package was between these two firmware's.

how did you set that cluster size - how did you partition?
fdisk?
gparted?

Ya that fixed it. I missed that discussion. Serves me right. Just enable WMM and g2g.

This router is sooooo fast with tomato...

can any body tell me how can i use torrent client in this firmware....
or only asus fw will do that??

You can't use DM that came with the original firmware. You have to install another client. (there is a good tutorial on this thread a few pages back about how to install Transmission)

Prince, plz review few pages, i wrote a short guide in this thread.

I need some HELP here : how to set up the QoS for router itself ??

Problem is:

I share my internet with all neighborhoods around me for free, but I shape their speed to be 20K/s for web browsing and chatting only with tomato QoS

But I want my own computer to be 100% rate, so I put my PC's MAC address into the Qos and set it to "Highest" , it works perfectly.

Now I want to set the RT-N16 itself to be the QoS "Highest" too cuz I run so many services on it. some things like emule and torrent are with wide-range and dynamic ports for anti ISP's P2P-block reason. (in my firewall I open all wan port 1-65535 to access router already)

So i need to define the router itself in the Qos settings.
I tried to put router's Wan-IP in to Qos setting, but my Wan-Ip changes everytime router reboot. So I tried to put router's WAN-Mac into it, fail (connections went to QoS default lowest). Tried use Lan-Mac, tried to put 192.168.1.1 into Qos, all fail. I put localhost, doesn't work. I even tried put 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 hope they may present my wan-ip, but all fail.

Then the Question is, How to define the router itself and all its wan ports in the Qos settings without mess up with all other guests and all the ports they are using?

anyone here have a solution, please let me know

About the wireless problem

teddy_bear:

I have the problem which wireless disconnect and router reboot when transmission large file.

And I use a fan to cool the router, but it's no effect.

I use a TTL link to the router RT-N16,and get these log when then wireless disconnect happened:

So is it the hardware issue or the firmware issue?

Hope the log will help to solve the problem many people used RT-N16 have.

And sorry for my broken English,Guys.

bilycat ,"fan cool" is a placebo , you can remove it. the data from toastman shows there is no over-heat problem at all with n16.

you problem looks exactly like when i overclock my n16, if you overclock yours, tune it back and it will be all good.

teddy bear said he is not a kernel coder, so i am not sure he can bring you any advices from the log. and i can't identify any causes of your problem from your log either.

Thanks. Works on my RT-N12. Seems stable so far.

oranges,

can you keep us posted with your N12 results? how are you using the N12? as a bridge? router, access point, etc.

there are many of us waiting for a tomato release for our N12.

thanks

I used it as a bridge with a WHR-G300N yesterday, and it seemed to work fine all day.

I'm using it as a router now.

i use 2 currently as bridges with dd-wrt loaded and they seem mine. however, people that use it as a router with dd-wrt have ran into wireless dropout problems.

please keep an eye on it and post your results

Great, thanks for the log! Please check your PM when you get a chance.

Trying to finalize a few things before releasing the next build. Hopefully will be out this week.

teddy,

the way i am reading this is you will release a new build which will also include support for the N12 in it as well as the N16. not 2 separate releases, correct?

though,
Yes - one release, separate firmware binaries.

As i see this problem cache_alloc_refill it's a kernel related one, also it seems that it would be wise to upgrade kernel to version 2.6.31.19, because kernel version 2.6.22.19 that tomato is currently using is a little old, and contains many more bugs which were fixed in upstream version. that may fix the famous wireless issue that almost everyone is having (see the rt-n16 thread on dd-wrt forum last posts).

Good luck with that. Report here how it goes....

Ok, now that's funny...

Between watching you on this thread and SgtPepperKSU on the VPN build thread I've come to fully understand why open source projects like OpenVPN give the code away for free but charge for support.

Writing and releasing the firmwares make you admirable. Supporting it makes you saints.

-TurtleFang

Don't let this guy slow down discussion. I'm eternally grateful for what teddy_bear and the others have accomplished in providing us. If they stopped today it wouldn't change one thing for me. Because without them I wouldn't even have this great firmware I have now. Yes there is an issue but it seems to run across all firmwares. Upgrading the kernel is probably not an option (at least not at the moment) so hopefully we can find another fix for wireless reboot issue.

Either way thanks again to all that made this possible!!!

I hope so too. Luckily one person who can repeatedly reproduce the problem happen to have the serial console and posted the log. Event though the bug is most probably is in the closed-source Broadcom wireless driver, this info may help to find the workaround.

As this happens also with the latest alpha firmware from Oleg, almost sure it is related to the single band wireless driver from Broadcom. And if a new driver won't fix the problem, it might be hardware related.:frown:

For any hardware-related problem there's a software workaround .
The question is only how soon we'll be able to find it.

By the way, what exact version of Oleg's alpha are you talking about? And what version of Broadcom wifi driver does it report in the log?

Hard question... 1193, the version that has been released last night. I do not have any log from it, as I only tried it last night for a few hours (I was curious how the GUI looks like :smile: ). The only difference I've noticed is that he uses a newer BusyBox version (1.15.xx or something). Apart from that I haven't look at anything else much... Now I'm back to Tomato. :tongue:

eth1: Broadcom BCM4329 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.56.46

Broadcom wireless driver version i guess

also found this thread on https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=21027
I'm not sure if it's related tho, but wireless chipset seems to be the same

also last night i've tested possibilty of swap space fixing this problem. I've formated a simple 4gb flash drive as linux swap partion, attached it to router and enabled using swapon command, cat /proc/swap showed 4 gb swap enabled, but that didn't fixed the wireless problem.

Ok, I know that one - it uses exactly the same version of wifi driver as Tomato, so I wouldn't expect it to behave differently:

There's another alpha from Oleg - based on the recent Asus' beta:
http://oleg.wl500g.info/n16/
I'm not sure what driver is in there - has anyone tried this one?

Haven't tried it, but if I understood well, it is just the latest beta unrealeased firmware from Asus (9.9.7.45) with some modifications for L2TP. So it might contain the same wireless driver as 9.9.3.7.

Help me please....

I forgot to do.
Now do not at all.

Do a reset (hold in WPS button while plugging in router). That should reset the password to the default (admin).

Wow, teddy bear, lots of updates these days in source code.

I saw you turn on Samba3 now with Samba: version choice？
"No warning, we don't care and we NEED utf8 for Samba" Luv you!!
and Netgear WNR3500L ID
and so many exciting things
i nearly had a heart attack from reading them!!!!

But don't build it just yet . There are some bugs in that code as well that I already know about...

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I have bought two WNR3500L some weeks ago and I were disappointed
because there was no IOS like OpenWRT / DD-WRT for this router with USB and WPA
support. Thanks to the Tomato developers/community and Teddy Bear things changed

I have compiled the actual tomato-rt repository yesterday and getting some glitches.
My plan is to make a 3G/UMTS router with OpenVPN support.
I am getting a kernel Oops on the console connecting a UMTS ZTE MF637 stick
when I press the refresh button under 'USB and NAS -> USB Support':

Is there anybody else trying to get 3G/UMTS working ?

I'm trying to install a second printer to the router. I followed the instructions from the original Tomato Mod thread, placed the line

Code:

 p910nd -f /dev/usb/lp1 1 

in the Init scripts, installed the printer on the computer without problems on port 9101, but when I try to print something, I get the following error in the log:

Code:

lpr.err p9101d[420]: /dev/usb/lp1: No such file or directory, will try opening later

Help

Catalin,
Use /dev/lp1 instead of /dev/usb/lp1.

Works brilliantly now, thank you very much.:wink:

all fellows here, happy new year! The year of tiger!

Hi teddy_bear, I've played with this a little bit more. Looks like the main problem was the channel number; for some reason, WL500g is able to deliver good signal on channel #1, while RT-N16 is totally unable to, but behaves better on channel #6. I had not played with the channels because I had assumed that, if WL500G was working well on #1, then RT-N16 would have done the same. Never assume anything

So, I put RT-N16 on channel #6. With tx power 20 or less, I was still getting spurious packet loss (around 5-10%). With tx power 30, I was getting around 2% loss. With tx power 42 (which is marked as default in the web ui), I got 2 packets lost in a session of 2000 pings, so 0,1%, which is acceptable. So, in my case, it looks like bumping the power helps. Any idea on why?

Now for something totally different.

I'm struggling to find a way to correctly start/stop a scsi_stop deamon. This is the code that's working for me on kernel 2.6:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$#" -ne "2" ]; then
   echo "Usage: $0 <device> <timeout>"
   echo
   echo "Where:"
   echo "   <device>: hd device (eg: /dev/sda, NOT sdaN)"
   echo "   <timeout>: idle timeout in seconds"
   exit 1
fi

disk=${1#/dev/}
interval=$2
logfile=/tmp/idle_disk.log

state=$(grep " $disk " /proc/diskstats 2>/dev/null)
count=$interval
up=1

while [ true ]; do
   sleep 10
   count=$(($count-10))
   newstate=$(grep " $disk " /proc/diskstats 2>/dev/null)
   if [ "$state" = "$newstate" ]; then
      if [ $count -lt 0 ]; then
         count=$interval
         if [ $up = 1 ]; then
            sync
            state=$(grep " $disk " /proc/diskstats)
            scsi-stop /dev/$disk
            up=0
            time=$(date '+%b %e %H:%M:%S')
            echo "$time: /dev/$disk: cooled down" >> $logfile
         fi
      fi
   else
      if [ "$up" = "0" ]; then
         time=$(date '+%b %e %H:%M:%S')
         echo "$time: /dev/$disk: new activity detected" >> $logfile
      fi
      count=$interval
      state="$newstate"
      up=1
   fi
done

I believe there is no good place to put this script. I would like it to be run for each new /dev/sdX device to appear on /dev, and be stopped whenever the device disappears. The automount scripts are per-partition, so they are not of much use. There is not even a good place to store this script (I committed it to nvram, but hey...).

I believe this is something that should be integrated in Tomato USB for several reasons:

1) there is not good hook for this kind of stuff at this point.
2) we (community) could build and maintain a whitelist of usb ids of disks which behave well with scsi-stop. This would easily allow not to run the script on usb dongles or ssd which don't have rotating parts.

What do you think?

NOTE: the good thing is that scsi-stop behaves MUCH better on Kernel 2.6 than they used to do in Kernel 2.4, on the same set of USB disks. I guess this was to be expected. In 2.6, scsi-stop spins down all my disks, and the kernel automatically spins it up whenever requested, without trouble; in 2.4, some disks were not even working with scsi-stop; and for the only one that was working, I had to run scsi-start immediately after scsi-stop (which is a nonsense...), otherwise the system would hang when accessing it.

Yes.. it seems like there is a difference. I changed mine to channel 6 and 40MHz. Much more stable.

What were you on? I am on 40mhz on channel 1 with no problem that I know of. What ware you seeing?

I had intermittent disconnections while transferring large files..I was on channel 1: 20MHz... :redface:

teddy_bear, when you upgrade to Samba3, don't forget this patch please:
http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=d75d14f8de0b1fe36028e605c9453631d9cd70bc

Yes, in kernel 2.6 "after-mount" script is called for each partition after it's mounted.

But actually, custom scripts are already available for all possible events you can hook to. The hotplug script is called once per device in response to USB hotplug event. Although this event happens very early - the /dev devices may not be created yet at that point. The next event is when kernel assigns sdX names to block devices - it's called for each partition, and this is when nodes are created in /dev, the auto-mount occurs and the after-mount script is called. In your scripts you can examine environment variables to find out what kind of event it is, and what device it's for.

There are no other events, so we have to deal with these two. Maybe you can use the after-mount script, and set an nvram variable or create a flag file in /tmp indicating that the scsi-stop script is already running for the device to avoid starting multiple instances... Do you have better ideas?

P.S. Thanks for the Samba patch!

Post your syslog when you connect the device. Maybe unusual_devs entry and/or an ID in option driver is needed for it...

As for usb_modeswitch, it's not the path problem, it's missing "-lpthread" in compile options for libusb. I'll fix it. The .conf file is not included intentionally - there's no GUI support for it, and the default .conf file won't do you any good anyway. You'll have to create the file in /etc and specify your device parameters there. You'll also need to make sure it survives the reboot - one way to do it is to save this file to nvram (nvram setfile2nvram /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf).

Guys,

I need volunteers who can repeatedly reproduce the router crash bug during wireless transfers on N-speed, and who will be willing to flash their router several more times to test different builds. If you can also hook a serial console to it and provide the kernel crash output, it would be even better - but that's not required.

Please PM me if you'd like to help with testing. Thanks!

Well, given your above reasoning, I realize it doesn't even make sense to react to plug/usb events. I'll just let the daemon always run and simply work on whichever "/dev/sd[a-z]" it finds at any given time. I can simply store the status within /tmp files and that's it.

I'll post an updated script with whitelist support, and then we'll see how we can integrate it with the web gui.

HOLLY ~~~~ this is the source of my "multi-instance" problem.

cuz i have 3 partitions on one usb disc, so the optware programs all run 3 times after reboot.
wrote a if try to aviod the script run more than once, but fail, cuz seems the 3 times runnings initial simultaneously so the one script can't determine others.

For this purpose, it's more convenient to use .autorun script in the root of your partition instead of post-mount - no need to check any env vars. All executable scripts with .autorun extension in the root of the partition will be executed after this partition is mounted.

+100！！！！！！！！

Hi there,

I'm not very familiar with unix command line to build my own firmware from teddy's sources. I haven't any linux boot on my pc.

So i'm curious to know if they are any ways to have it from a repository of something similar (ftp etc..) with the latest changes.

Thanks

Picked one up for $83 for ewiz after coupon. Can't wait for it to get here.

I've compiled the latest Tomato RT-N16 using the latest git source code (02/10/10). If you want a link to download it PM me.

On a side note. During normal use I noticed that the Broadcom chip seemed to get very hot to the touch and the two other chips (guess they are memory) were very warm to the touch. I put heatsinks on all 3 chipsets to help with any possible heat issues. So far Tomato is running rock solid, but before I was having to reboot the router it seemed like once a day. Personally I feel there is heat issues with the RT-N16. Just FYI.

I think that since this post:
http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showpost.php?p=358465&postcount=383

Teddy_bear has asked us not to post private builds on this public thread.

FYI.

Thanks Teddy_Bear for investigating my problem.

Connecting the ZTE MF637 itself doesn't generate an Oops. I get the kernel Oops

Looks like this modem was in unusual_devs.h in kernel 2.6 tree for a while to ignore it as a storage, but then was removed from there since some of the devices with the same ID could not be switched to modem mode at all unless they are recognized as a CD-ROM first.

So the solution is probably to switch it to the modem mode before you even try to access it as a storage device (and that's what the USB page is trying to do). I suppose you can use the USB Hotplug script and usb_modeswicth for that. Please let me know if cam make it to work (the test build I PM'd you is still needed for usb_modeswitch to work).

Wireless "N" newbie - settings?

Hey all. I bought the N16 and returned my linksys 610N because of (beta) Tomato support, but I'm having troubles getting any good connection with my ralink wireless n adapter.

I'm NOT expecting 300 mbps speed, but what I'm getting is no better than 130mbps and usually 64mbps. This is with Tomato and DD-WRT. I'm also getting very slow transfer speeds - 250KBps or less on Tomato and DD-WRT. With ASUS firmware, I'm getting 64mbps with 2-2.5MBps transfer speeds (closer to my old G connection).

Connection is almost always 100% with each antenna showing fluctuations between 75-95%

I've tried changing just about every setting I could find, but the main ones here:

- Different versions of the Ralink drivers and Windows (XP SP3) zero config.
- turning WMM OFF/ON (Off actually seems to works best)
- Changing channels (1 seems to be clearest, but 6 and 11 work the same too)
- power settings (20-35 work best for me)
- setting B/G/N to N only (no noticable difference)
- 20/40mhz settings (40 works best - most reliable)

I'm hoping someone can tell me that I'm missing a magic switch. If I can get stable 130+ mbps connection with 4-5 MBps transfer, I'd be very happy.

Thanks for any help

i have intel 4965AGN wireless-card in notebook and i have usually 144mbps connection speed (20MHz only).

Transfer from usb disc via ftp i have 2.0-2.5MB/s but via samba i have 5MB/s!

Thanks for your response.

I guess getting 250 KB/s (with tomato and DD-WRT) is my main problem then. Getting that into the 2-3 MB/s range would be great. I'm using NTFS drives in desktop computers and an NTFS DROBO on USB connected to a computer that's wired (gigabit) to the router.

I'm not using (or concerned with) the USB ports on the back of the ASUS right now - if that matters.

- e

How do I actually explore my drive, copy files to it etc.? From within Windows 7 or within the browser - everything goes. I have changed my routers IP address to 10.1.1.1. The hard drive consists of three ext3 partitions, but if I have to create NTFS partitions instead no problem. I can see my external hard drive from within the Tomato interface and creating shared folders seems to be no trouble.

Extra info in case it might prove useful:

Hi EAKF,

Try using channel 3. For some reason I had similar problem on all other channels.

Hi teddy_bear,

many tanks for your test image. But I didn't get the USB working.
The USB devices didn't react at all - I have tested differnt devices but they don't
seem to be powered/initialized (no LED light). I have tested with different
settings, with and without USB1.1. No changes.

The original Tomato RT git worked wit USB 1.1 module loaded. Without them
it was the same behaviour.

Nevertheless I have made a performance wireless test. The wnr3500l was setup
to N only and channel 8. With Linux on MacBook Pro I got 12-13MBit, which might
be a driver problem.

Here the result with Snow Leopard on iMac Core i7 (1 concrete floor - 5 meters distance):

What is nvram "boardflags" variable is set to?
If it's anything other than "0x00000710", try the following:

Code:

nvram unset t_fix1; nvram commit; reboot

For everyone else - don't get confused, this was about a private test build on WNR3500L.

I'm running v1.27.9044 MIPSR2-beta05u ND USB Ext for about an hour so far. I have 2 printers, one usb hub and one card reader with 2 cards attached to it, so far no problems at all. Haven't tried WLAN.

Thanks TB!:smile:

No luck:

Code:

Hmm... Did you have USB working with previous custom build from git with only USB 2.0 enabled, and no USB1.1?
I don't have WNR3500L, so I'm trying to figure it out based on the test results from others - and a few people reported that setting boardflags resolved the issue. I see in your log that it at least finds the internal USB hub successfully. What devices have you tried to plug in into it? Does it output anything at all into the syslog when you plug/unplug the usb drives and/or printer?

I just want to say awesome job TB and Ray and all other who are working on this project. Can't wait for the official release of the latest build for the RT-N16 and RT-N12. The N12 right now is sitting in its box waiting for some Tomato lovin.

my N12 is waiting for tomato lovin' as well

I don't have a supported router (I have WL500GPv2) but am curious what the "SIP conntrack module" actually does.... anyone?

Waiting for RT-N12 support ?

You can test the new build - beta05:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tomatousb/files/Experimental (beta)

There are 4 different builds available in the K26-MIPSR2 folder for routers based on MIPSR2 (MIPS32 Release 2) CPU - USB/Ext, USB/VPN, no-USB, no-USB/VPN. "No-USB" builds are small enough for RT-N12. All of them should work on RT-N16, and on Netgear WNR3500L (see comments below).

K26-MIPSR1 folder contains USB and non-USB builds for "regular" MIPSR1 (MIPS32 Release 1) CPU. I only tested it on Asus WL-520GU, but it should also work on most other models supported by vanilla Tomato ND.

Here's what's new after beta2:

• All updates from the build 43 and build 44 of main USB mod.
• Added support for Asus RT-N12 (thanks to TurtleFang's generous donation), and for Netgear WNR3500L (However, more testing is needed for WNR3500L - as you can see from a few posts above there could be some problems with USB on this router. At the same time I got reports from other testers that it works fine).
• Jumbo Frame support for routers with gigabit switch.
• Fixed bug in Access Restrictions and QoS rules that use MAC addresses.
• Fixed bug in triggered port forward.
• Fixed setting max connections on "Conntrack/Netfilter" GUI page.
• Configurable conntrack hash table size.
• Samba 3.
• Backported lots and lots of fixes and improvements from newer kernel versions - this should generally improve stability and increase performance.
• Added support for USB volumes larger than 2TB.

If you previously experienced router crashes/disconnects during wireless transfers of large files on N-speed, please retest it again with the new build to see if the situation changed - improved, or got worse. If it still crashes, it would be very beneficial if you can provide a kernel crash dump (but of course I realize that not everyone knows what the heck is a crash dump, and how to obtain it :wink...

I loaded up beta02 last night on a new RT-N16, I used the tftp upload method to load the firmware rather than the Asus utility. Worked like a charm.

I'll look into beta05 this evening, so far it seems solid but I haven't dug into any features yet other than simple web traffic.

RTSP helper still don't work

Well, we only know is something with RTSP doesn't work for you the same way as with older Tomato. But it may not be RTSP helper - more testing is needed. The triggered port forwarding - another problem you reported - should work now though.

If anyone else is using RTSP/IPTV stuff, or tried to use it either successfully or unsuccessfully with this mod - please chime in...

Thanks i'll test it !

Anyone got this running on a WRT320N yet?

In fact, i don't know how i can test it to bring help to you.
If you have test suggestion, i will do it.

Me neither - I have absolutely no experience with RTSP, and don't even know if RTSP conntrack helper should do anything in your situation. But it's very well possible that RTSP module is buggy, and only works in some (limited) cases - I believe DD-WRT doesn't include it at all anymore.
Can you make your adsltv to work properly with port forwarding - triggered or basic?

Some feedback after ~16 hours uptime with beta5u version:
-At first I used the config file for the beta2 version, and I got random disconnections on WAN PPPoE, and some dhcpmasq messages in the log file, every few minutes.
-This morning I decided to do it in the proper way, so I cleared NVRAM, flashed this time the VPN version (Tomato Firmware v1.27.9044 MIPSR2-beta05u-vpn3.6 ND USB VPN). After that, cleared NVRAM again and did all the settings manually through GUI. Running like that for some 2 hours now, no more problems.

Later edit: still the same problems, which are described in a separate thread now: http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=63885

Some things I've noticed:
-there is no need anymore to use a Init script to mount the 2nd printer, as it does it automatically.
-Samba transfers are faster, but I get an error log message: daemon.err smbd[1015]: call_nt_transact_ioctl(0x1401c4): Currently not implemented.
-Previously, when transfering files using samba, the free memory reported in the Overview GUI used to drop quite fast, I assume it was used like a buffer memory. Now, not anymore, the amount of free memory stays pretty much unchanged.

Haven't tried wireless yet.

Thanks TB! :wink:

hey .... it is working precfectly ....and speedy ..... looking forward to adding the media server function in ur newer version ...thx thx

I can run adsltv (vlc rtsp video) only with port forwarding basic.
Trigger doesn't help me but don't crash the router anymore. (change work so)

Are you saying that in vanilla Tomato you didn't need to forward ports, and only had to activate RTSP conntrack for ADSLTV to work? And it didn't work without the RTSP conntrack activated? If so, I'll look deeper into it, and hopefully figure it out eventually.

But at least you have a workaround with port forwarding for now...

Yes, that's it.
With tomato 1.27, i enable upnp+rtsp and that's all...it work...

what command should i use to compile tomato with USB but without VPN?

make MIPS32=R2 ?

So is this stable enough to use on a WL500gPv2 yet?

azdps,
make V1=9044 V2=Whatever r2m
or
make V1=9044 V2=Whatever m MIPS32=r2 SAMBA3=y
both commands are the same.

greenythebeast,
Nobody tried yet. Wanna be the first :wink: ?

I have a WRT54GS v1 that I have your non 2.6 mod running on. I'm willing to try loading this new 2.6 version on it.

Question though, would an older router such as my WRT54GS v1 really benefit from 2.6 or is the increased overhead going to negate any benefits?

I don't know how to unbrick a router. Is it easy to do? If so, I might try it out

vyrticl,
I don't believe WRT54GS will benefit from the new kernel. But someone needs to test and compare the throughoutput between vanilla Tomato and this mod to make sure.

greenythebeast,
If you know how to use Asus firmware restoration utility, then you know how to unbrick your Asus. But if you don't - don't try this ... Not until someone else verifies that it boots up on wl500gpv2.

I used the firmware restoration utility to initially install tomato if I recall correctly. Had something to do with setting a static ip and then restoring, correct? If so, I think I can handle it. Tell me what you think

As a Tomato/teddy_bear fanboy, the least I could to help was to try this on my WL-500gP v2.

And as always, he doesn't disappoint us

Keep up the good work teddy_bear!

So you can confirm it IS stable on a WL-500gP v2?

Got it all setup 10 minutes ago and still running solid as a rock. Wi-Fi is up and running, ADSL (IP over RFC1483 Bridged) connection too.

I don't have any use for the USB functions in the meanwhile, so I can only report in the stability of router/internet connection. Will do so again in a few days to confirm it.

Two RT-N16s arrived today, to replace my trusty WRT54Gs. I installed Tomato on them, like on my old ones.

First, the details:

Routers: ASUS RT-N16
Firmware: Tomato Firmware v1.27.9044 MIPSR2-beta05u ND USB Ext

I've got two routers, one running as an Access Point + WDS (connected to WAN over PPPoE), the other, just WDS. Wireless is set to WPA2/AES, 40MHz, WMM.

The primary router is connected to two different DDNS systems, uses uPnP, NTP, mix of static and dynamic DHCP, forwarded ports, and a very complex QoS setup.

--

Everything seems to finally be working okay, but I ran into two problems.

WDS completely fails when the routers are set into WPA / WPA2 Personal mode. It took me /forever/ to figure this out, because this setting works fine in stock tomato on my WRT54G. If I set it to WPA2 Personal, it works fine. If I disable security, works great. WPA / WPA2, though? No good. I haven't tried WPA alone, because I'm quite tired of fiddling for now.

The other issue I've run into is that the SSL certificates seem to keep getting regenerated on every reboot, despite the checkbox being set to store them in NVRAM. Not a huge deal, but annoying to have to confirm with Firefox after every reboot.

Thanks!

Actually, after some playing around, I discovered that the transfer speed between the two routers was /abysmally slow/, pings were dropping, pretty bad. I tried setting them to WPA + Personal, but they didn't even connect at that point.

Yep, this seems to be the bug in the Broadcom wireless driver. I wrote about it in this post:

Also, after you tried to esteblish a WDS link in WPA/WPA2 mode, you have to reboot the router to be able to connect in any other modes.

I'll verify this, and if this is indeed the case, should not be a big deal to fix.

Play with the configuration - wireless mode, channels (the correct channel could be very important to get good connection speed), maybe advanced settings (although I think it's the best to leave them at defaults now).
I'm running RT-N16 and RT-N12 connected to each other - both with this firmware, and my first experiense with them was the same as yours - the drsatically slow speed - until I changed the channel. Now I'm running them botn in "Auto" network mode, WPA2PSK + AES, 40 MHz, and getting ~8 MB/sec transfer speed between them when set to channels 8 through 11. On all channels below 8 I don't even get a G-speed.

teddy_bear,

Problems after updating my firmware

My WL-500gPv2 won't grab a connection anymore. All I get on the Status screen is Status Renewing...

Not sure what to do. Please help, if you need any information from me just ask

greenythebeast,
Did you do a thorough nvram erase, and reconfigure manually after flashing? If not, do that. If you did, try to power-cycle the router one more time, and maybe reset your modem as well. You may be facing the same issue as mstombs experienced with this mod (search for his posts on this thread) - same symptoms as yours - nothing critical, but weird...

Works here, but very slow. Hopefully a temporary problem, and will be fixed soon - this had happened before with this server.

Another power cycle did it Very odd problem. So now that I'm updated I'll make sure to report any other oddities. Can you explain the benefits of this new Linux kernel?
